Be sure to follow this show if you want to get irrelevant “previews” in your feed that have got to be close to outnumbering the amount of actual episodes this show has put out.

Way too many ads, it’s hard to listen to when every minute there is an ad for something, makes it chaotic and disjointed with no flow. It starts and ends with minutes of ads and then there are ads in between too and it’s only like 25mins, so. It ends making you feel used to sell things. Ads are a...Read full review »

Fun
I enjoyed this so much! It was a fun listen. It also reinforced my intuitive eating decision. I had to laugh at parts where they talked about all the math with calculating calories, fiber, etc. Way too relatable. These crazy rich instagram influencer gals just crack me up! 10/10 recommend.

No one involved has the range and that’s including Emily gellis

I could not get through the 1st 15 min. Even though the subject matter was pretty serious, the presentation made me feel like I was listening to a pre-teen drama.

I’m surprised to hear that people enjoyed the host. She’s the main reason I’m dropping this show. She really gets in the way of understanding and caring about what is actually happening (and isn’t funny at all?). Just couldn’t handle it anymore even though I was curious about the story itself.

The pod held my attention and I found it to be very interesting. Great job! 🤩
🤗♥️Erica B♥️🤗 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/23
They somehow took a subject that could have been as short as a tweet and turned it into a podcast season. Half of each episode was warnings, ads and no substance. The hosts are super annoying and took what could have been an interesting podcast and did nothing with it. I feel dumber after...Read full review »

I like music but.... via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/15/23
Interesting, entertaining with a great host. BUT please get rid of at least some of the beep notifications. It is an effective sound effect at first, but is grating when it is done multiple times in an episode.

Thoroughly enjoyable but I would have liked to hear more on court outcomes. Well presented x
Hipster-wh0re via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/03/23
Seriously the best host and her humor worked perfectly with this topic. It’s wild to me that this was a social media war about fiber powder. I found myself siding with everyone except Tonya for the unfair reason of her having the voice of a goose in labor thus making her very painful to listen...Read full review »

Typically not knowing the people involved wouldn’t make a difference if I enjoyed a podcast or not but I just couldn’t care about these women’s drama. I did finish the story but come the end I just felt like I wasted my time.
Otaku Sue via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/23
The host is amazing! Great podcast to binge.
lineparas via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/15/23
These Gellis girls are completely out of touch If these people had such terrible experience from the diet why would they not handle it themselves?? Why sending their concerns to a girl who uses “ like” after every word?!
Never Social Media via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/23
No real resolution to the story. I expected for the host to obtain F Factor products to be tested but that never happened. Mostly just he said/she said with no hard facts.
epbeme002 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/23
The women in this story reminded me of high school mean girls. But you know who was awesome? Casey. She could talk about moss and I’d listen to the whole season. She is too cute and funny.
Napualisto via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/23
I don’t listen to Wondery for high-minded news analysis… it’s effectively the People magazine of podcasts. But inside of that genre, sometimes it’s nice to have a host who also knows it’s silly celebrity fun and winks at it. Casey does this in her own comedy and I love that she brought that to...Read full review »

No satisfying ending. Interesting at first, but kind of goes nowhere. Didn’t love the host jokes.
Cheyudhjd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/23
Never found out if F Factor was healthy, no resolution. Was Ingrid really behind the anon accounts? When do they go to court? The host was super condescending towards her own show. It feels very unfinished.

Great story telling, makes me glad I don’t live in the social networking world. The lesson I learned- just because you read something on internet it might not be true.
Brian665 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/23
I’m biased toward loving deep investigations of scams and the fall of egotistical “visionaries,” so my review is also biased. Was entertaining but does not look into the DEEP issues of power, white supremacy (“They wouldn’t have come after me if I was non-white and poor.” - Tanya), and extreme...Read full review »
rhmandt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/23
There’s not much story here, and what there is is told in a disjointed way. They overuse the sound effects. Casey Wilson was great, though. Maybe the next project will be more worthy. And Tanya… What an annoying human being.
Rabidly disgruntled via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/20/22
I thought it was gonna be shocking in some way, or serious, but it was so petty and boring.
Meganm007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/13/22
I was really enjoying the show and I wanted to see what other people were saying about it. You guys have mainly 5 star reviews but the comments are all from people who have strong opinions on the narrators. I don’t know how they got got such strong options from people they know nothing about but...Read full review »
TBombzzz7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/22
I was hoping this would be more of an in-depth look at whether these products really were hurting people - as you’d expect from Wondery. It would have been good if they’d spoken to more victims, doctors et cetera. As it is, it’s more about the people involved and seems to conclude that this is...Read full review »
ProfMMcGonagall via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/06/22
This was a great show. But Casey’s tone the entire time was like all of the people involved in this messy situation are the biggest morons on earth. The condescending tone, and just the way that she narrated the whole thing and made it sound like she thought these people were the scum of the...Read full review »
Chictravelingmama via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/30/22
Oh man, another narrative that centres bitter, angry women. I felt completely hopeless while listening to this because *spoiler* there is no clear cut right or wrong, as life often goes, and the main tone is horrible cattiness. The narrator has a great storytelling charisma, but even her tone...Read full review »
Meghan 3 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/23/22
watching these two women fighting feels like belittling women in someway.
appleacid via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/22/22
This is a great easy listening podcast, and was a nice break from my usual heavy true crime and political podcast diet (pun intended). Also the host has a really good voice and she should do more podcasts! I think they could have leaned more into the ridiculousness and sillyness of the...Read full review »

This really had no point and was way below the level of interesting entertaining content I have come to expect from Wondery.
Wondery LA Fan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/20/22
In my opinion, they both seem like miserable human beings. That said, there seems to be a personal vendetta situation where the Gellis character goes after Zuckerbot. Why? Hmmm. Her claim that she has never told a lie is laughable. Also, her deep desire to do the right thing seems suspect. Not a...Read full review »
FLLaw32 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/18/22
Love narrator & host Casey. But I’m with you, what people eat is so boring. Thing is we all know someone who is buying the latest fad, this was just a reminder that it’s all junk. I vote for more podcasts hosted by Casey!!!
Breeb714 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/22
This was a waste of time.
ellie3641 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/11/22
Honestly, I hate leaving negative reviews; but this show infuriated me so much it compelled me to me to post a review. It had promise, so I kept waiting for it to come together and to hold true to the quality of wonderies podcasts…. But there was no real substance at all. I listened the whole...Read full review »
Shodbear via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/07/22
This story plays out all the time with “influencers” and supplement companies spouting claims and hooking their “communities” on fad diets not backed by a MEDICAL DOCTOR. This story lacked meat and purpose. Just another daily tale of Instagram trolls and feuds.

I absolutely love Casey Wilson and she does an amazing job narrating this podcast. The problem is the story. There is no one to root for, no one to feel bad for (why do I care about women on fad diets who end up with minor health issues after choosing to put a non-FDA approved chemical in their...Read full review »

Bad
A synopsis of one of the major issues today. Self proclaimed experts with no expertise and no understanding of science. People with low self esteem begging for affirmation online. People who thrive on drama sniping or posting anonymously. Meanwhile this podcast joins in on the action. Yech.
duckboyn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/22/22
Started out quite well, but in the end turned into a none story and I’m wonderng where’s the rest of it
TTWF via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/22/22
This whole podcast is just stupid, vapid and a massive, annoying waste of time. This is why I don’t waste my time on social media.
thinkthinkthink! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/21/22
The show is well produced and the host has great energy, but there is no story here. The entire show is literally just two wealthy, white Instagram influencers arguing for 6 episodes. I don’t understand how Wondery thought they had enough content here for a full podcast
shebunleashed via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/22
Just a bunch of angry rich wyt ladies freaking out about petty stuff. Lots of disordered eating. Bookended by five minutes of ads, so episodes are only 15 minutes long.
sadiernew via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/22
The host does her best to make this an engaging story, but everyone she interviews is vacuous, vapid, and believes they are far more interesting than they actually are. If I hear one more person say “um”, “like”, or “literally” I will literally vomit. Also, each 26-minute episode has perhaps 10...Read full review »
MusicalCrab via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/22
Or perhaps that’s the point? Everyone, including the narrator, comes across as entitled, materialistic, status fixated, gossipy and snarky and talks in that airhead, gossipy voice where every other word is “like” and ends in vocal fry. So, it’s a “No thenk yewwwwwwwww” from me.
P. S. Doff via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/10/22
I thought this would be good but it gave us no information. Barely enough story to make a podcast out of it. Save your time and skip.
aeriellane via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/22
When will get to find out it all turns out? I am hooked 😊
Reese's gamma via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/22
It was alright, a quick story, easy to digest. I thought they would talk more about the diet itself, talk to nutrition experts and show tests done on the fibre diet, but there was none of that. Just a lot of she said, she said, Instagram influencer drama. Very meh.
1LMP via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/01/22
The host was great. But listening to these vapid, shallow, emotionally immature women fight over something so ridiculous? God almighty. It’s why I won’t watch the Housewives franchise or the Kardashians.
